According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 1,454 New Yorkers were killed in car accidents in 2006. This chilling figure includes 616 deaths where a driver was under the influence of alcohol: 384 deaths were recorded where a driver’s blood alcohol content level (BAC) was at .08 or above, and 232 drivers with a BAC level of .15.
As alarming as the 2007 statistics appear, the news is encouraging, as the numbers represent a downward trend in traffic accident deaths. The overall rates for 2007 reflect that 8.3 percent fewer deaths occurred than in 2006. For fatalities involving alcohol, there were 11 percent fewer deaths where the driver had an.08% BAC, while deaths where a driver registered a.15% BAC were 15 percent lower than in 2006.
